The DS10CP154A is a 1.5 Gbps 4x4 LVDS crosspoint switch
optimized for high-speed signal routing and switching over
FR-4 printed circuit board backplanes and balanced cables.
Fully differential signal paths ensure exceptional signal integrity and noise immunity. The non-blocking architecture
allows connections of any input to any output or outputs. The
switch configuration can be accomplished via external pins or
the System Management Bus (SMBus) interface. In addition,
the SMBus circuitry enables the loss of signal (LOS
that can inform a system of the presence of an open inputs
condition (e.g. disconnected cable).
Wide input common mode range allows the switch to accept
signals with LVDS, CML and LVPECL levels; the output levels
are LVDS. A very small package footprint requires a minimal
space on the board while the flow-through pinout allows easy
board layout. Each differential input and output is internally
terminated with a 100Ω resistor to lower return losses, reduce
component count and further minimize board space.

Functional Description
The DS10CP154A is a 1.5 Gbps 4x4 LVDS digital crosspoint
switch optimized for high-speed signal routing and switching
over lossy FR-4 printed circuit board backplanes and balanced cables. The DS10CP154A operates in two modes: Pin
DS10CP154A
Mode (EN_smb = 0) and SMBus Mode (EN_smb = 1).
When in the Pin Mode, the switch is fully configurable with
external pins. This is possible with two input select pins per
output (e.g. S00 and S01 pins for OUT0).
In the Pin Mode, feedback from the LOS (Loss Of Signal)
monitor circuitry is not available (there is not an LOS output
pin).
When in the SMBus Mode, the full switch configuration and
SoftPWDN can be programmed via the SMBus interface. In
addition, by using the SMBus interface, a user can obtain the
feedback from the built-in LOS circuitry which detects an open
inputs fault condition.
In the SMBus Mode, the S00 and S01 pins become SMBus
clock (SCL) input and data (SDA) input pins respectively; the
S10, S11, S21 and S21 pins become the User-Set SMBus
Slave Address input pins (ADDR0, 1, 2 and 3) while the S30

and S31 pins become non-functional (tieing these two pins to
either H or L is recommended if the device will function only
in the SMBus mode).
In the SMBus Mode, the PWDN pin remains functional. How
this pin functions in each mode is detailed in the following
sections.
DS10CP154A OPERATION IN THE PIN MODE
Power Up
In the Pin Mode, when the power is applied to the device
power suppy pins, the DS10CP154A enters the Power Up
mode when the PWDN pin is set to logic H. When in the Power
Down mode (PWDN pin is set to logic L), all circuitry is shut
down except the minimum required circuitry for the LOS and
SMBus Slave operation.
Switch Configuration
In the Pin Mode, the DS10CP154A operates as a fully pinconfigurable crosspoint switch. The following truth tables illustrate how the swich can be configured with external pins.

DS10CP154A
DS10CP154A OPERATION IN THE SMBUS MODE
The DS10CP154A operates as a slave on the System Management Bus (SMBus) when the EN_smb pin is set to a high
(1). Under these conditions, the SCL pin is a clock input while
the SDA pin is a serial data input pin.
Device Address
Based on the SMBus 2.0 specification, the DS10CP154A has
a 7-bit slave address. The three most significant bits of the
TABLE 5. DS10CP154A Slave Address
101ADDR3ADDR2ADDR1ADDR0
MSBLSB
This slave address configuration allows up to sixteen
DS10CP154A devices on a single SMBus bus.
Transfer of Data via the SMBus
During normal operation the data on SDA must be stable during the time when SCK is high.
There are three unique states for the SMBus:
START: A HIGH to LOW transition on SDA while SCK is high
indicates a message START condition.
STOP: A LOW to HIGH transition on SDA while SCK is high
indicates a message STOP condition.
IDLE: If SCK and SDA are both high for a time exceeding
tBUF from the last detected STOP condition or if they are high
for a total exceeding the maximum specification for tHIGH
then the bus will transfer to the IDLE state.
SMBus Transactions
A transaction begins with the host placing the DS10CP154A
SMBus into the START condition, then a byte (8 bits) is transferred, MSB first, followed by a ninth ACK bit. ACK bits are ‘0’
to signify an ACK, or ‘1’ to signify NACK, after this the host
holds the SCL line low, and waits for the receiver to raise the
SDA line as an ACKnowledge that the byte has been received.
Writing to a Register
To write a register, the following protocol is used (see SMBus
2.0 specification):
1) The Host drives a START condition, the 7-bit SMBus address, and a “0” indicating a WRITE.
slave address are hard wired inside the DS10CP154A and
are “101”. The four least significant bits of the address are
assigned to pins ADDR3-ADDR0 and are set by connecting
these pins to GND for a low (0) or to VCC for a high (1). The
complete slave address is shown in the following table:
2) The Device (Slave) drives an ACK bit (“0”).
3) The Host drives the 8-bit Register Address.
4) The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
5) The Host drives the 8-bit data byte.
6) The Device drives an ACK bit “0”.
7) The Host drives a STOP condition.
The WRITE transaction is completed, the bus goes Idle and
communication with other SMBus devices may now occur.
Reading From a Register
To read a register, the following protocol is used (see SMBus
2.0 specification):
1) The Host drives a START condition, the 7-bit SMBus address, and a “0” indicating a WRITE.
2) The Device (Slave) drives an ACK bit (“0”).
3) The Host drives the 8-bit Register Address.
4) The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
5) The Host drives a START condition.
6) The Host drives the 7-bit SMBus Address, and a “1” indicating a READ.
7) The Device drives an ACK bit “0”.
8) The Device drives the 8-bit data value (register contents).
9) The Host drives a NACK bit “1” indicating end of READ
transfer.
10) The Host drives a STOP condition.
The READ transaction is completed, the bus goes Idle and
communication with other SMBus devices may now occur.
